Being able to run after my daughter and keep up to her and not have to hear the kids in her class make fun of her because she had a fat mom

Kids are so cruel

Lol what if you have twins next

- Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I assure you, that fear has lingered for years now! LOL Especially at my "advanced maternal age" twins become more probable. Guess then we will have to go to 6 LOL. *my husband just said "ummm, yeah, about that...." Guess if twins happens, I'm SOL on the even number thing!

Just thought of another thing I wont have to worry about!!!

We have an amusement park with a Water world attached to it, in the city I live. Well, I haven't enjoyed anything other than the "Lazy river" since high school, due to my size. I am terrified of getting stuck in the tubes! The last time, and this is why it was my last time, I had to scoot myself down the whole tube and then jump off the end because I was to big to let the water push me down. The water couldnt push my fat behind down the slide. I never want to experience that shame again.

After my surgery, this is the first thing I'm gonna do! LOL well, maybe not the first!

A strange one... But you know the little stall showers you get to create a half bath (smaller then a portapotty)... Being able to take a shower in one of those without bumping walls or getting clostorphobic. I have one of those in our laundry room for the 2 older boys, our tub had a crack in it when we first moved here 6 yrs ago so we used the downstairs shower... I had sooooo much trouble. Well last week I noticed Water pouring into the downstairs from upstairs tub again... So we are using the little shower... Which is Much Bigger now!

As I got out of the shower... I thought I want to be able to use a regular bath towel instead of a beach towel to cover my whole body up!

I can't wait to be able to fit comfortably in the desks at my grad school and actually concentrate on learning and not the discomfort and sense of shame.

I want to be able to sit ANYWHERE on any chair without having to worry about it creaking ir possibly breaking!

I can't wait to buy bras that are pretty and suitable for a woman my age! I want to know what it's like to shop in Victoria Secret and regular sized stores.

I want to NOT have to struggle to put my socks on.

I want to feel energized and not in pain.

I want to exercise without feeling pain.

Ahhh there's a lot!

Oh! Oh! I want to wear my car seatbelt comfortably and not have to struggle getting into and out of the car! Also, I want to be able to go out to eat and sit in a booth and not have to worry if I'll be able to fit or not.

I feel ya on this one. I love the bras from LB, but when I walk past the VS in our mall, it just makes me sick. I want to wear those beautiful bras and panties and not have a thong look like the string holding a Christmas ham.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
